All this shet because of a dimwit called diamondbar.

Aiya jangan troll vios already, UHU gum wor.



They use chewing gum oni.

The FLX SE is not underpowered, it's the CVT that's responsible for the laggy response. But once it is up to speed, say 3k - 4k RPM, the power is pretty decent.

Don't get too upset bro. Diorang have the right connections, your SA and the manager was probably following orders from upper management.

It's unethical but it is what it is.

Just out of curiousity, did anyone actually tested the IAFM variants?

My SA told me there are no IAFM stocks yet, at least for test drive.

No tebo....

booo~~~!!

it's 1000-2000 RPM range.

idling already around 1000 RPM

Just in case there are any confusion why use the handbrake as opposed to the footbrake, as recommended by mat79, that is because the wet clutch opens (disengages the cvt from the engine) when...

1. The gear is in N or P
2. The brake pedal is pressed (my understanding is it will not be opened as wide as in condition 1, therefore still creating drag.)

So, from Kristof's explanation, my understanding is that, when you are pressing the brakes, and release it to press the gas pedal, the clutch needs time to close, hence the lag experienced. If you dont want to feel this throttle lag, you either...

1. Wait a moment before pressing the gas pedal, by when the clutch will be completely closed, or
2. use the handbrake to stop the car from moving, but keep you gear in D. This way the clutch never opens, and once you relase the handbrake the car is ready to go right away.

The torque converter cvt does not have this lag issue because it simply does not open nor close.

Mat79,pls correct me if I am mistaken.

So i got it right, right?

Oh ya sori. Hehe, thanks for correcting.

Cool, thanks

Correction to the first two points too, the clutch is fully opened when the footbrakes are applied.

Ape lah, I'm very tame. Oni nightstalker is the one that wanna steal your ride and tekan til rev cut

WHY??

There will be creep like an auto car, but as long as your handbrake is tight there shouldn't be any movement.

Remember, you only do this if you wanna avoid the laggy response. handbrake in D is not necessarily the safest way to keep your car from moving, and with the gear in D it won't be kind on your brake wear (well won't be much different that holding your footbrake in D) . The best way is to anticipate when you can start moving, and release you footbrake just a moment earlier.

Why all this fuss when we could've settled for a normal AT or torque converter CVT that is easier to drive? our clutch-based CVT is designed for less tranny loss and better fuel economy, so you gain some, you lose some. One step up will be a DCT, which I hope to see in a Proton car soon.

My SA told me if I wind down the window I might be able to hear blow-off sound I din't hear nuts

Can imagine already.

WhiteLighter ni go dealer there collect car at 2pm, sit there molest and read the user manual til 8pm baru bawa the new car home.

Ford ma. If called Proton Fiesta then different story. Even got DCT will also kena kaw kaw coz it jerks, and ppl say because it's Proton that's why it jerks.

I happen to like the Fiesta a lot actually
